Here Are The 10 Weirdest Places You Can Possibly Go In New Jersey

New Jersey is a wonderful state, but we pack in our fair share of weird. We’re home to a wide range of strange spots, though personally I’m proud of it. Normal can be boring, embrace these quirky attractions and repeat after me: eccentricity makes the world go round!

According to a 1938 radio broadcast, Martians landed in Grover's Mill, New Jersey. The Halloween broadcast was fictional, based on H.G. Wells' "The War of the Worlds". Many took it as fact, inciting panic. Now it makes for a fun story.

Though this isn't my favorite place, if you like bugs, you'll love this unique museum! Exhibits include Caterpillar Cafe, Bug University, The Mud Tube, and more! Suitable for all ages, kids tend to love it!

A moo-morial to "the most famous cow that ever lived", this is a loving tribute to Elsie, Borden Dairy's mascot. A fictional character, beloved by fans, she was brought to life in the 1930s and 40s by a Jersey Cow named Lobelia.

This quirky museum celebrates all things strange and obscure. Best of all, it's right by the beach. Enjoy the "odditorium" where you can find the world's smallest production car and a table made entirely of jelly beans!

Let your imagination run wild at this wacky event. Steampunk is all about the strange, but in the most magical of ways. It combines history, fantasy and the macabre, making for a mysterious festival that can't be missed. Check it out next May, from the 13th -15th.

We’re also home to the mysterious “blue hole” which, according to legend, is always cold, and the stone living room – a man-made rock formation. What other weird locations would you add to this list? Let me know in the comments.
